My attempt :

Hi Sarah my dear Hilmi will come to Gazantiep on Friday, Sam is on holiday in Ankara

My attempt:

Hi brother what are you doing why do you never call? when are you coming? We are impatient to see you we missed you. Please give news as soon as possible. See you, brother.

Note:

abi : means older brother but is used as a term of affection...

I think it would be:

Bu akşam vaktin var mı?

But that´s just my guess.....

Thank you everyone

Thank you MarionInTurkey

Were there many more other mistakes?

Herkese merhaba,

I like the song Sana Ne by İsmail YK, and I tried translating it, please could someone correct my mistakes, I think there may be a lot

Yalvardim ama olmadi

I begged but it didn’t happen

Sozlerin beni avutmadi

Your words didn’t comfort me

Gittigin o gunden beri

Since the day you left

Bu kalbim seni unutmadi

This heart of mine didn’t forget you
Biliyorum sen bana aciyorsun

I know you feel sorry for me

Bir gun sende unutursun diyorsun

You say ‘one day you will forget too’

Kalbini aldin gittin benden

You took your heart and left me

Bari hayallerimi bana birak

At least leave me my dreams

Sen beni merak etme

Don’t you worry about me

Sevdigime pisman degilim

I don’t regret that I loved

Cektigim acilar benim degil mi ...

The pain I felt is mine isn’t it

Sanane What’s it to you?

Inan pisman degilim bakma yuzume

Believe that I don’t regret don’t look at my face

seni seviyorsam bundan sana ne

 If I love you, what’s it to you?

Seni icimde yasiyorum sana ne

If I’m living you inside me what’s it to you?

Sanane

What’s it to you?

Vazgecmek olmaz senden

There’s no giving you up

Ozlemim cok derinden

My longing is so deep

Kopmayi isteme benden

Don’t want me to break

At least leave me my dreams

Siir:
Unut demek kolay, bunu gelde bana sor

Easy to say forget, come and ask me this
Unutamiyorum iste anlamiyor musun

I can’t forget you do you understand
Seni ozlemekten baska birsey yapamiyorum

I can’t do anything else without missing you

Sirf seni yasamak icin yalnizligi seviyorum

Only to live you I am loving loneliness
Yeter ki dokunma hayallerime

That’s enough don’t touch my dreams
Cektigim acilar benim degilmi soyle

The pain that I feel is mine, isn’t it, tell me
Seni seviyorsam icimde yasiyorsam

If I love you,if I’m living inside
Bundan sanane

What’s it to you

Ah now it makes sense, thank you for explaining

Ahh I knew I´d be wrong

silence, in some conversations would it be incorrect to use ´beni´ ? As someone has used that to me in conversation before. I know ´bana´ is correct as that is the one I always hear.

You can find the translation on this page :

 http://lyricstranslate.com/en/duesler-sokagi-street-dreams.html 

I had it on my favourites, it´s a good song..

I think it´s:

Beni sordun mu?

Teşekkür ederim Merih

I have seen a picture of a female friend and I really like her clothes in the picture, but what is the best way I could say:

´I love your outfit..´

?

Şimdiden teşekkürler

I have no idea if any of this is right and I could not understand one part (in bold) but I hope someone will be able to translate better for you...

What time is the flight tatlı somasın we are coming straight away,  I need to stop at Samsun on the way put it in the refrigerator we have left home ok?

Thanks deli, so it would be ok to say it as I leave a shop/coach etc?

Hello,

I´m wondering if someone can explain when to use ´kolay gelsin´. When I´m on a coach and I get off the coach, could I say to the driver ´teşekkür ederim,kolay gelsin´?

And I always thought it is said when leaving a shop or restaurant, but I saw a lady say it to a shopkeeper as soon as she entered a shop in a movie.

Could we use, for example, ´İyi akşamlar, kolay gelsin´ as both a greeting and a goodbye?

Thank you in advance...

I have so many questions !

passer-by, çok teşekkürler ederim

´´ We are coming for a holiday, as we know those apartments are very nice. But I´m scared, I don´t want to get beaten up. I don´t want people to think I have come to cause trouble. People will misunderstand me. I just want a nice holiday with my family, I have missed (place) so much.

I will come to say hello one day of course. Do you know if there are boat trips that go to Kos? Or any good excursions?  ´´

Thank you very much...

Çok teşekkür ederim tunci

Lütfen

Oh dear. Did I get the end part wrong?

´´ There has been so much pain in my heart throughout the years but it will never show through my eyes...´´

´´ Do not forget for even a second that I am a woman in the world who did all she could.´´

´´I’m starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman’s heart´´

Şimdiden teşekkürler

Ben senin kardeşinim...

(My try..)

I will try, please wait for better...

Evet, İskenderun. Geçen sene oraya gittim.

Herkese selam,

I was wondering if anybody knows a reliable site for Turkish karaoke/backing track mp3s? I´m on YouTube and enjoy singing both Turkish and English (www.youtube.com/arlca , but I´m limited because I can´t always find the songs I wish to sing.

Is there a reliable site for this?

Hoping you can help me

çok teşekkürler harp00n

Hello, please translate this to Turkish for me, as my Turkish isn´t good enough yet to write this, thank you...

´´ When your uncle comes to Izmir, please can you ask him to talk to me on MSN or message me, as he spoke to me a few weeks ago and I have some things to tell him. I know he is married and it is difficult situation, but I don´t want to cause trouble and I know his life is changed now. Just as a friend I wish to speak to him. If it is problem, don´t worry. Thank you. ´´

şimdiden çok teşsekkür ederim

Hello everyone, I have a big favour to ask. PLEASE would someone be able to type some sort of script of a full airplane safety demonstration like the cabin crew would say and any helpful phrases you can think of on-board an aircraft? (eg. In the unlikely event of an emergency oxygen masks will automatically fall from above your head..´´ etc)I will be so happy I can even pay someone to do this for me if needed.

Many thanks,

Carla

I will try :

I´m going. You are not talking, I´m not talking, we haven´t any conversation it´s best to go. Take care of yourself. I love you. Don´t forget I love you very very much. Good night my love.

Hehe thank you But I have so  much to learn, honestly I´m really shy at speaking Turkish when it comes to having conversations!

Hehe thank you But I have so  much to learn, honestly I´m really shy at speaking Turkish when it comes to having conversations!

And this also made my local paper today..

http://www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/news/Carla-taught-Turkish-s-YouTube-songstress/article-1808904-detail/article.html

We can all teach ourselves Turkish if we believe I think

 Nora I congratulate you, our language (Turkish) is a very difficult language but you have achieved it

(Not sure how to phrase this properly but you get the idea..)

Teşekkür ederim. What makes it most rewarding is the fact that I´ve now been learning Turkish completely alone for 4 years, no teacher or anything, just from books and trying to speak with people. I have never lived In Turkiye but believe me one day this is my biggest wish. I know I have lots of improvement to do regards pronounciation but I´m even more determined now. As for the amount of views, I am happy for even 1 person to take time to view the video, but as for so many I am completely overwhelmed.

Thank you so much

Oh and hehe,  maybe I should answer couple of questions I read. I have no idea where they found it, my videos are on YouTube but I would love to say thanks to the person who uploaded it. And I haven´t settled in Turkiye, actually I´m English and adore Turkiye, I live in South West England at the moment,  one day I hope to live in Turkiye somewhere but I have to live there through music and Turkce for now  

Thank you so much to everybody for your comments and for taking the time to watch, I feel honoured and appreciate everything so much. My Turkish really needs improvement but this has inspired me to really go for it

Herkese merhaba,

Please if you can visit

http://webtv.hurriyet.com.tr/?cid=1&vid=3415

This is my video, singing in Turkish. For everyone like me who is learning, this proves how much learning Turkish is appreciated and that we CAN do it!

Best wishes

Carla

I think you could say :

Sen beni bilirsin, sana söz veririm.  

But I think there is a better, more advanced way to say it as well...

By soccer do you mean football? If yes, I can try...

Futbol oynayalım ! Ben senin arkadaşınım ...

Aww thank you so much

I have no idea why on my screen the blue text to be translated is above my post :S I hope it´s readable for everyone. Thank you in advance, it´s kind of urgent. x

Hello everyone, although I am able to understand most of a conversation I had with my friend I want to make sure I haven´t got it wrong, and because I explained my situation in Turkish I need to know he understood as well. Please can someone translate the following into English. Thank you.

ama insan kavgayla ayrılmaz ki

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWHSqd9eVt4

Here is a video with English subtitles as well... Beautiful.

How many million people say that Allah is number one?

(Not sure...wait for better please)

 My try :

Ýþ görüþmen nasýl geçti?

(Might be wrong though...)

Yay! 

 My feelings are the same for you but it has to be like that.

(only an attempt wait for better please)

Uppps sorry Deli

He/she/it doesn´t look like you at all.

Yakamozzz is so right, and I know how easy it is to think ´I´ll never get it´, but every new word you learn, however small counts, and it´s such a great feeling to listen or read a foreign language and thinking ´hey, I know what that word means!´

This is such a beautiful language, it requires perseverance but we will all get there I´ve been on and off studying for almost 5 years and STILL can´t grasp a lot, I´m still basic,  some days I throw my books down and say ´ahh it´s impossible!´ but the next day I re-read it and it seems more simple.

Cheers to us all for our Turkish-learning ambitions

parlamak  (to shine)

I needed a challenge as it´s been so long since I sat to study my Turkish, but I attempted some paragraphs, I need my mistakes pointed out please ( probably I got most of it wrong) but to also help me improve, as well as helping this lady read her letters! Thank you

Nasilsin iyimisin? Yuce Allah´tan iyi olman dilerim Beni Soracak olursan iyi olmaya calisiyorum ama senden bana gelen mektup benim daha iyi hissetme sebeb oluyor ve cok mutlu oluyorum. Bana gönderdigim siirleri ve mektubunu bubun aldim ( 07.10.2009 ) senin mektuplarin geldigi zaman ben uyuyordum ve beni uyandirdiklarinda mektuplarini görunce cok sevindim ve mutlu oldum.

How are you, are you well? I wish you well. If you are going to ask me I´m trying to be well but the letter that came to me from you gave me a reason to feel better and I´m very happy. I got the letter and poems that you sent to me ( 07.10.2009 ). When the letter came to me I was sleeping and when they woke me up and I saw your letter I was very pleased and very happy.

Kendini bir daire icin listeye koydugunu yasmissin o evden tasinacakmisin yalnizmi yasayacaksin? Evet biliyorum yasadigin hayatin iyi olmadigini söylemistin bana eyer istersen buradan ciktigim zaman oraya gelmemi istiyorsan Skellefteaýa gelirim ve mutlu bir hayat surebiliriz. Belki bilmiyorsundur burada sadece 6 ay is var yani sezonda kisin hic bir is yok calismak icin yazin gelmesini bekliyoruz. Bu arada Umarim saglik sigortasi senin parani devamli öder. Bende her zaman seni dusunuyorum ve cok özluyorum gercekten burda gunler hic gecmiyor ama senin mektuplarin beni mutlu ediyor. Özur dilerim ben Diananin sana yardimci olugunu sanmistim insallah Turkce konusmayi iyi konusursun Annem ve Babamla konusmak icin

Apparently you put your own apartment on the list will you move from that house, will you live on your own? Yes I know you told me the life you´re living isn´t good, if you want when I leave from here if you want me to come to there I will come to Skellefte and we can continue a happy life. Maybe you you don´t know that there´s only 6 months work here, well in the winter season there´s no jobs, we wait for the summer season to come to work. By the way I hope your health insurance money is paid continuously. I´m thinking of you all the time as well and I miss you so much really here the days don´t pass at all but your letters make me happy. ben Diananin sana yardimci olugunu sanmistim insallah Turkce konusmayi iyi konusursun Annem ve Babamla konusmak icin (not sure on this)

Umarim disalarimiz kabul olur ve bir an önce buradon cikar tekrar özgurlugume kavusurum seninle birlikte Julianayada cok tesekkurle sana yardimci oldugu icin benim icin yaptiklarin her say icin cok tesekkur ederim sevgili Askim seni cok ama cok Seviyorum I Love you so much my Erica!

I hope our  ..disalarimiz.. agree and before one year he/they will leave  from here again I will resume my freedom together with you, thanks to Juliana for helping you, thank you so much for everything you did for me darling my love I love you so much!

Herhalde Hakan gönderiyor cunku o benim facebook sifremi biliyor oyun oynamak icin demekki senin gönderdigini görmus oda sana gönderiyor. Aglamani istemem cunku bir insani aglarken görmege dayanamam. Julianayi tanimiyorum ama sanirim iyi bir insan demek siirleri kendin yaziyorsun gercekten cok guzel ve duygusal siirler bunlar okudugum zaman gözlerim. Seni ariyor ve dokunmak istiyorum ama bana cok uzaklordasin göremiyor ve dokunamiyorum gözlerimi kapattigim zomon senin yuzunu sen yanimdaymissin bir hisse kapiliyorum. Turkcenin iyi olduguna sevindim o zaman Ailemle tanisirsan onlarla Turkae konusabilirsin ve bundan eminimki seni seveceklerdir.

I expect that Hakan is sending to play games because he knows my Facebook password, he saw what you sent and he is sending to you too. I don´t want you to cry because I can´t bear watching a person cry. I don´t know Juliana but I think she is a good person. You are writing poems they are very beautiful and emotional I wait for time to read them. I´m calling you * and I want to touch but you are very far to me I can´t see and I can´t touch, when I close my eyes I see your face I have a feeling that you are by my side. I am glad that your Turkish is good , then if you meet my family you can talk Turkish with them and I´m sure that  they will like you very much for that.

(* I know ´seni ariyor´ is he/she/it is calling you but I got confused...)

Evet Baran abim benim mutlu olmami cok ister ve benim burda oldugum icin cok uzuluyor. Tabi bende onun icin cok uzuluyorum Ama insallah bir an önce ikimizde özgurlugumuze kavusuruz.

Yes Baran is my older brother he wants me to be happy and he´s very sad that I am here. Of course I am sad for him too but hopefully before a year we will resume our freedom. By the way Hakan bought 50 euros and he said that you gave him 300 lira, I´m so happy that you went to the shop in Alanya but I´m sad that you didn´t see me.

Bu arada Hakan ba 50 Euroyo getirdi ve ona 300 lira verdigini söyledi senin Alanyada oldugunu dukkona gittigin gercekten cok sevindim ama beni göremedigin icin cok uzuldum.

Özgur oldugumda bana göndermek istedigin bilezigi umarim disarda verirsin ”ASKIM” (???)

Really I wasn´t drunk that night

Seni Sevgiyle Kucakliyor ve Sevgiyle öpuyorum Askim

I kiss and cuddle you with love, my love

I will try, please wait for better: 

Thank you so much, congratulations on your perfect Turkish, it seems you have studied well. Let´s see, can you understand all of this? I´m very curious...

Ahh herkese çok teþekkür ederim

I think the literal translation is come to yourself, but it´s meaning is like ´come to your senses´,or ´see some sense´ kind of thing. But I´m not sure, someone will help more I´m sure.

Merhaba arkadaþlar,

I´m looking for some good tests or quizzes to do online, regards vocab or grammar, I know all the basics but I want to really push myself to learn so much more.

Any help much appreciated.

Herkese iyi günler diliyorum.

Brilliant I thought it was one of those shortened things

Thank you for your help

´Gelimde´ 

I understand the rest of the sentence but I´m unsure on ´gelimde´.

Does this mean ´when I come´? The whole sentence was ´gelýmde senýnle uzun býr gece gecýrelým´.

Þimdiden teþekkür ederim
